### 👩‍🍳 How to Make Creamy Steak and Pepper Pasta

#### 1. **Cook the Pasta**

Bring salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente, according to package directions. Drain and set aside, reserving ½ cup of pasta water.

#### 2. **Sear the Steak**

Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper, then sear for 1–2 minutes per side until browned but still tender. Remove and set aside.

#### 3. **Sauté the Veggies**

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until softened and lightly caramelized. Add garlic and cook for another minute.

#### 4. **Make the Creamy Sauce**

Pour in the cream and beef broth. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and paprika or chili flakes. Let simmer for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning.

#### 5. **Combine Everything**

Return the steak to the skillet, along with the cooked pasta. Toss everything together, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.

#### 6. **Serve**

Plate your creamy steak and pepper pasta, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and enjoy hot!

### 💡 Optional Add-Ons

* **Mushrooms** for an earthy twist
* **Spinach or arugula** stirred in just before serving
